Summar y Initial outflow is (likely) relativistic (e.g. G 0 >30). If so, the light curve of the initial spike of the giant flare of SGR 1806-20 indicate the collimated outflow. Radio proper motion may support jetted emission? “Statistical problem” is not serious if less-energetic envelope emission exists. Prediction: SGR 1806-20 will cause again within this century.
